Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The number of patients with implantable pulse generator (IPG) has steadily increased in Japan causing increment in number of in office follow-ups and greater burden on many hospitals.

The purpose of this multicenter randomized study is to demonstrate that BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring system reduces office follow-up visits without compromising patient safety.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will be randomized into HM follow-up only (Group 1) or HM \& in-office follow-up (Group 2) and will be followed-up for 27 months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Home Monitoring(HM)

Patients assigned to HM Group(HM follow-up ONLY) will have Home Monitoring programmed ON. They will be seen in the office for device interrogations at the 3-month follow-up, and at 27 month follow-up. In the meanwhile the device status will be evaluated using HM only for the 9, 15 and 21 month scheduled follow-up. Patients will visit the hospital for device interrogation on 27 month final follow-up.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring System

Intervention Type DEVICE

Home Monitoring system transfers implantable device's data to the main server via internet.

Control

Patients assigned to Control Group (HM + Conventional In-office follow-up - Control group) will have HM programmed ON. In addition to HM, these patients will visit the hospital for device interrogation at 3, 9, 15, 21 and 27 month follow-ups.
